Let me ask you hard.

I struggled a lot this year.

Like Lord, it's probably one of the hardest years of my life.

I just haven't had a very blessed life, thanks to my parents, my family, my friends, my whole support system and just I never had surgery before.

Just having the surgery was just whenever I found out I had surgery was just It was It was heartbreaking, but I broke down, started crying.

Reese.

Back to you on Malika was around the North Carolina program a lot last year, and when he had that injury, people said, Well, should he even play anymore?

He never wavered about coming back and finishing with Target.

And you have to give him a lot of credit because a lot of players would have just shut it down.

And he's a very talented score and just a freak of an athlete that never gets tired, gets downhill, gets to the rim and can finish and draw fouls.

Another three level score.

He had to take a ton of difficult shots last year just because he had to generate so much offense throughout the course of the year for North Carolina.

But Coal Anthony is gonna be an outstanding NBA player.
